Here's my guess :)

The SwingLow function returns Price, if a SwingLow is found
and returns -1 when a SwingLow is not found.

How about a statement to capture the date of the SwingLow:

If SwingLow <> -1 then Adate = date;

Now, use Adate

btw, the parameters in your use of SwingLow don't appear
correct?

SwingLow(OCCUR,PRICE,STRENGTH,LENGTH) =
SwingLow(1,Low,5,Strength + 1)

Strength + 1 for length is the minimum number of bars for
strength = 5...
using 100 for strength means the SwingLow won't be
identified for 105 bars after the occurrence.
